Or, HOW TO GROW VEGETABLES AND FRUITS. 
- By the late WILLIAM X. WHITE, of Athens, Ga. 
WITH ADDITIONS BY MR. J. VAN BUREN, AND DR. JAS. CAMAE. 
Though entitled M Gardening 
for the South,” the work is one 
tho utility of which is not restrict¬ 
ed to the South. It is an admira¬ 
ble treatise oa gardening in gen¬ 
eral, and will rank among the most 
useful horticultural works of the 
present day. Horticultural opera¬ 
tions are clearly explained, and 
more in detail than is usual in 
works of this kind. To those liv¬ 
ing in the warmer portions of tho 
Union, the work will be especially 
valuable, as it gives the varieties 
of vegetables and fruits adapted 
to the climate and tho modes of 
culture which it is necessary to 
follow.
